I agree with you on most of the points you made, except for that the same card in a specific grade should be worth a certain price. The last thing we need is even more subjectivity in grading.

Grading companies are supposed to be able to spot an altered or fake card, and assign cards a numerical grade based on established and publish standards. They have had difficulty doing that so far.

Some of us prefer to pay a premium for a centered 4 with nice color, registration, etc. Or a PSA 1 that looks like a 6 or 7 but has a small pin hole or back damage. Others may not. But this is not a flaw that needs to be corrected. It allows for different ways to enjoy the hobby.
